THE German steamer Swatow, which filved here to-day from Newchwang and Chefoo, reports that on the afternoon of the 17th inst, the weather became very stormy, commencing to blow heavily from the south-east and veering to north-west, accompanied by a tremendous sex, All the deck cargo was washed overboard and some of the bulwarks broken.
A FIRE broke out shortly before six o'clock this morning in the top floor of a mat-bag store at Na. 15, Tung Lei Lane, past the Harbour Office, and runnlag between Bonham Strand and the Praya.

The house in which the fire started also involves the same company to the extent of $3,500; while Messrs. Reuter, Brockelmann, and Messra. Ed. Schellbars & Co. have heavy risks on the other burat houses, including 116, Bonham Strand, more damaged by water than by fire. In all cases there is clear evidence, we believe, that the stock was fully up to or over the value assigned. No injury to life or limb is reported, The total damage is enthoated at about $20,000.

Mr. Stephens, solicitor, applied for a receiving esder in the matter of Robert Lang, trading as Lang & Co, tallors, Queen's Road, Hongkong. The matter was referred last month (under an Interim receiving order) to the Official Receiver to report. His report had now been made, and appeared favourable. The amount of liabilities had not been ascertained, but there were sub- stantial assets for distribution among creditors.

Mr Sassoon hearing of these remarks requested the Stewards to call on these members to substantiate of withdraw them in writing This the Stewards did, with the result that the remarks made were confirmed in writing. It understood that these letters were forwarded by the Stewards to Mr. Sasoon.

Of equal interest are the researches concerning population of Kolaagso. The History of Chuan-chow states that it contained two villages, whose inhabitants were successful as fishermen and pirates. In 1370 they attacked and plundered funks belonging to the "Throne." In the same year, an army was sent to pants' thern for their misdeeds. It burned bath villages and killed nearly all the people.
From the description given, it seems oneofthese villages was situated near Ko-Sing's new yamen and the ice-factory. This is farther borne-out by the fact that in excavating for both these places, the foundations of several balldings were carthed, some of which were covered with broken tiles, bricks and fragments of charred wood In 1380, the survivors were driven off the island or cise left voluntarily for the mainland.
